5249 10 | = | ( | 21 | − | x | ) | × | 297 10 | + | 99 5 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 21 | × | 297 10 | − | x | × | 297 10 | + | 99 5 | x |
| = | 6237 10 | − | x | × | 297 10 | + | 99 5 | x |
| = | 6237 10 | − | 99 10 | x |
5249 10 | = | 6237 10 | − | 99 10 | x |
99 10 | x | = | 6237 10 | − | 5249 10 |
99 10 | x | = | 494 5 |
| x | = | 494 5 | ÷ | 99 10 |
| = | 494 5 | × | 10 99 |
| = | 494 | × | 2 99 |
| x | = | 988 99 |
| x | = | 9.979798 |
